Full Metal Black by The Royal They Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Am I the one with the plan?
You got a mouth full of sand
Better that than to have nothing to suffer through
The money's made of a man
You're overplaying your hand
I only wanted you for something to do
You're made of malice and meat
Whiskey and shitty TV
Stare at the grain through the glass until you can't even see
It's what you're doing
For wreck or ruin
It's only true until they give me something else to believe
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!
Well I wouldn't lie
To make you sorry, would I?
So what's your hurry to die?
You sorry son of a bitch
You never know 'til you try
It's not a counterattack
It's just a matter of fact
I'm made of metal and the metal's made to shatter you back
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!
[Chorus]
Yeah, full metal black
How should I react?
Yeah, full metal black
You can't have it back
Yeah!
[Verse 2]
You needed something to stoke
To wrap your neck with and choke
You couldn't gild yourself a lily to keep your head
'Cause you're too pretty to smoke
Too fucking bad to be broke
You're so alive you think you'd rather be dead
These are the spoils of war
I know I'll never be bored
Am I your enemy now? You'll never know it for sure
The best of you raw
Spun back into straw
The empty center of a universe that's spinning away
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!
What do you want me to say?
You made a fucking mistake
You gave me bullets for bones, who'd you expect them to break?
Go on and shatter your teeth
It doesn't matter to me
Your body couldn't think of anybody better to be
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!
[Chorus]
Yeah, full metal black
How should I react?
Yeah, full metal black
You can't have it back
Yeah!
Am I the one with the plan?
You got a mouth full of sand
Better that than to have nothing to suffer through
The money's made of a man
You're overplaying your hand
I only wanted you for something to do
You're made of malice and meat
Whiskey and shitty TV
Stare at the grain through the glass until you can't even see
It's what you're doing
For wreck or ruin
It's only true until they give me something else to believe
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!
Well I wouldn't lie
To make you sorry, would I?
So what's your hurry to die?
You sorry son of a bitch
You never know 'til you try
It's not a counterattack
It's just a matter of fact
I'm made of metal and the metal's made to shatter you back
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!
[Chorus]

Yeah, full metal black
